I'll do that later today Rainie. I have to get my butt out of this house to meet my friend now. Better spending my morning reading and posting than smoking!
Hi all. Off to another bright and clear day (in the skies and in our lungs!) Cravings again today, but much easier to brush them off - maybe the laughs I get on the ship help!
Welcome aboard JC - this is a fun ship, so relax and pull up a lounge chair by the pool.
Nice tranquil music for lounging to.
But how about something upbeat so we can dance and burn up some calories....
"I made it through the wilderness, somehow I made it through.
Didn't know how lost I was until I QUIT you
I was beat, incomplete. I was had, I was sad and blue.
But you made me feel, yes you made me feel shiny & new ...
Like a NON-SMOKER"
(Apologies to Madonna -I needed to fix those lines for us!)
Slivers - Please don't do it. Believe me I've done it so many times while trying to quit and it is not worth it. The truth is you'd just be taking out your hurt and frustration on your own body!
You will feel so much better if you get past this feeling without smoking. Hang in there. Your daughter may not seem to care now (though she's going thru her own stuff so it's skewed) but there are lot of people here who do care right this moment!
JT & Beaglelvr - I just figured out how to bring up the IM. I would also chat on it for extra support!

That is so encouraging to hear. I've really been battling the demon the last day or so, after a relatively easy first week. I think Hell week and Heck week traded places for me!
Way to go on managing those craves!

Hi Aunt Deb. Thanks for the support. If you meant the Carr book, I have it and read it, parts more than once.
I think I had a blah outlook going into Monday after a nice relaxing weekend with my family and I wasn't quite prepared for what hit me. I think Hell Week and Heck Week traded places for me!
I got that cravy feeling again a little while ago, but I was able to tell it to go away. It helps that I'm meeting a good friend for lunch today. If you read my intro posting you know I was a closet smoker and (aside from Hubby and therapist) none of my friends or family know I smoked. This friend is an ex-smoker (like for 10 years or more - before I knew her) and I just might 'fess up to her and tell her I smoked and have quit.
Something tells me that she will say she knew all along! LOL. Smokers (or ex-smokers) can always tell, I suspect!
But extra support is always good right?
Good morning to all. Don't know if any of you are around now... such is the life of a SAHM! I work a ton, but it's volunteer stuff and don't pay (me) a dime! (I'm running a big fundraising basket auction for the kids elementary school and its in just over a month - usu we have over 200 baskets!)
Stuck inside today since the little one is sick, poor thing is just laying like a lump on the couch with a fever, slight cough & hoarse voice. But incredibly I feel NO desire to smoke at all today, hooray! So another tune for today, hmmm.... Just a fun one today...
"Oh, Shake it up baby now, shake it up baby, Twist & Shout..."
Freemom now dances off to burn off the calories from all that chocolate so she can have some more tonight!
Have a great day everyone. Congrats again Rainie on 2 weeks!
